I actually think in the case of America specifically, gun control simply would not work. There are more guns than people in this country by a significant margin. I think the “if you banned guns then only criminals would have them” argument actually does ring true HERE in a way it would not in the countries people cite as successes of gun control.

Now, this would of course decrease mass shootings, since most mass shooters have no prior experience as criminals and would not be as easily able to access the black market which would certainly still exist (on a massive scale) for firearms

It would be somewhat effective at preventing mass shootings, but not the vast majority of gun homicides. The majority of gun murders aren’t mass shootings, they’re gang hits, and gangsters would still have loads of guns if America put strict gun controls in place due to the sheer volume of guns in this country.
